I did notice greater flexibility and less loss of quality editing RAW files. these RAW files can be huge though so I doubt you would shoot in RAW for all occasions (e.g. I doubt you want RAW for baby showers unless it is your own baby?). Aperture is the Mac-equivalent of Lightroom and I'm sure has equally strong capabilities. The Apple Download Store has plenty of plugin links too. Now I have to find out what exactly do they do. I haven't really dabbled much in photo editing yet. I just shoot, touch up a little, and upload. You must share your must-dos sometime. Thanks.

I shoot in JPG only when I am about run out of memory ;) - RAW gives me greater flexibility in correcting exposures / sharpness / color etc. You can do spot removal, cleaning, yada yada much much better with RAW. JPG is compressed, so when you work on your photos, you are destroying the quality of the image adding layer by layer of settings; unless you do no touch up to JPG, your end quality is always pretty much lower than what you shot. Once you start dibbling with RAW there is just no going back ;) Not sure how Aperture works, but as a user of Lightroom, I can say its my one stop tool for doing all processing on photos. Aperture also has some plugins that you can install to do stuff like auto correction / white balance etc. I generally use plugins on lightroom and then modify the image according to my tastes.
